    We are back on FerrariChat!
    On the agenda for 2012....

    Cool affordable watches will be posted daily (or very often :) ).
    Some pre-owned pieces will fit into the mix throughout the thread.
    PM me with any questions, or you can shoot me an email at [email protected]

    Special orders and inquiries always accepted.
    We also purchase watches and take them in on trade.
    So if you have a piece to sell and know what you were looking to get for it, maybe we can make it work for both of us.

    We are veterans to Ferrarichat (2005) and to the watch industry (1988).

    Looking forward to this thread. I'll keep an eye on this for sure.

    What exactly is affordable in the watch world? :)

    Everyone's definition of affordable is different :)
    But we generally post watches in the $500 and under range. But occasionally post some more expensive ones.

    Here is an idea of what this thread will about :)

    $500 and less is in my range.

    The Mondia grande Montre w/CF is my idea of a good watch.

    I'm glad you're doing this.

    Just Excellent Chris!!! Last week you were responding on a thread describing and recommending watches. It made me nostalgic for the VTC thread. So glad you are going to make the effort to do another one. I think I can safely promise that I will not vist FChat without visiting this thread. Also, my family and friends are all still thrilled with everything we've ever bought from you.

    Glad to see you back Chris. I hope you share some of the high quality pre owned pieces that you get in. My wife loves her Rolex I got from you. :)

    Just a comment. I have bought multiple watches from Chris, and never experienced anything but superlative customer service. He is my "go to" guy on watches, and defines an excellent buying experience. I can't say enough good things about my (and my wife--she surprised with me with a watch some years ago) dealings with Chris.

    I will echo Scott's sentiments. I have never met Chris personally, but he always answers calls and emails quickly. I think I bought 5 watches from him last year. One of those watches was a trade. The process with all of them was easy as can be. Cool company with some cool brands.

    These Zeppelin watches he has are very cool. I gave one as a gift to an EVP I do a lot of business with and he loves it.
